Gerber Lab
Led by Stefan Gerber · Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences
What we study
The Gerber Lab studies how carbon, nitrogen, and other nutrients move through ecosystems using computer models. They explore how human activities like pollution and climate change affect these cycles and how ecosystems store carbon.
